Ray and Evangeline Stars Added to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney Imagineering has revealed via an Instagram post that some “extra magic” has been added to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, with the addition of prominent stars in the sky for Ray and Evangeline.

A person in a Walt Disney Imagineering vest admires a miniature cityscape model, possibly part of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, set under the enchanting Ray and Evangeline stars against a starry blue sky backdrop.

Towards the end of the attraction, just past the finale scene, a miniature cityscape of New Orleans rests beneath a starry night sky. Now, guests riding the attraction will notice two larger stars than others in the sky, representing Ray the firefly and his love, Evangeline, who both turned into stars after passing away.

A nighttime scene unfolds at Tiana's Bayou Adventure, where buildings are lit up along a waterfront under the Ray and Evangeline stars. Frogs sit near a box in the foreground, surrounded by lush foliage, capturing the magic of Walt Disney World.

In “The Princess and the Frog,” Ray the Firefly sings a song about his love, Evangeline. It becomes apparent that she has previously passed away and became the star in the sky that he sings to. Later, when Ray himself passes away, he becomes a star next to Evangeline.
